This is a great way to get along Dublin’s beautiful coastline from Howth to Greystones (other notable stops: Malahide, Portmarnack, Glasthule/Sandycove, Dun Laoghaire, Dalkey) but the stations are a little far from us. Grand Canal Dock is nearest station. It’s a 40 min walk, but a nice one along the canal.
